W obronie „Praeludium” Podbielskiego
In defence of Podbielski’s ‘Praeludium’

Summary/Abstract: Praeludium Joh. Podbielsky was the only attributed composition in the organ tablature known as the Warsaw Tablature, destroyed in 1944. Performed during ‘historical’ concerts in 1903 and 1910, it gained great popularity after the Second World War, thanks to editions prepared by Adolf Chybiński and Jerzy Gołos. In recent years, Rostislaw Wygranienko has questioned the work’s authenticity, concluding that it is a twentieth-century forgery. The present article represents an attempt to verify the conclusions concerning the source base and the style of the Praeludium.
